    Do all 3 series come with radio functions on the steering wheel?

    Do the 08 3-series automatically come with the ability to control the radio on the steering wheel or is that an added fee/option?

    Also what about power seats?

    all BMW's in North America come with radio controls on the steering wheel. on the 08 3 series sedan power seats are a $995 option or part of the optional premium package

    Sports package is the coolest for the money. Heated seats are also great but not in the "cool" category and not sure if they are needed at all in Austin. And I wouldn't skip on the awesome cruise control, it is the best I've seen so far even if you don't opt for the adaptive CC.

    they don't have comfort access in the color i want.. and the one they do has bmw assist and power seats which i'm not sure i want to pay for.. so i would need to pay 3k for comfort access, bmw assist and power seats

    do the cars come with spares by default?

    No spares. They have run flat tires.
